Electric wires and connectors:
Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and
loose or broken connectors. Tighten loose connections and make sure the wires are in good condition.

Hoses and fluid lines:
Look for wear, damage, and leaks. Make sure clamps and fittings
are tight. Wet spots show leaks, of course, but a stain around a fitting or connector can mean a leak.
If a leak comes from a loose fitting or connector, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, either
correct it or report it to direct support (refer to MAC chart).
